Examples

They shotgunned a few - just giver! we also ate dill pickle flavored spitz, which is my new favorite. also, we watched an old man, in a motorized wheel chair do laps around my neighborhood. when I say laps, I mean, like hundreds of fucking times around. every lap he'd stop at this one driveway, sit there for a second and then throw something.
